What visitors say
I'm old enough to remember this as the old South Side Bowl lol They've done an excellent job updating and making this family friendly. Kiddo was there for a birthday party and it was a hit. Parents of the birthday girl said the planner…
These pins were present last year I visited. I didn’t see them this year when I visited. Where are the pins?!? Where are they?!
Great bowling alley, paired with Poor Richard’s Pub, famously referenced in The Office TV show. The lanes are well maintained, and they also have an impressive arcade. Bowling typically costs around $30-40 per hour.
